Features: The New Curriculum Standard Promotion Version marks the beginning where teachers have materials for lessons, parents have assistance for tutoring, and students have methods for improvement! A diary is like a kaleidoscope, capable of storing flawless childhood innocence, capturing joyful childhood playfulness, and reflecting colorful childhood hearts. Walking through it, you don’t need to worry about its perfection—so long as you speak and express sincerely without restraint, your pen will surely be filled with vitality. A diary is also a whetstone, not only cultivating the habit of observing life seriously and being diligent in thinking and writing, but also refining the noble quality of perseverance in doing things. Especially the latter will benefit you throughout your life.
Just like writing essays, keeping a diary relies on rich life experience and abundant language reserves. However, as Mr. Ye Shengtao once said, “Writing an essay is about thinking,” and the key to keeping a diary lies in thinking as well. The features of this series stem from this principle.
How can we improve thinking during the writing process? The book doesn’t list too many theories but instead introduces various methods of planning and writing through ninety excellent compositions with rich content and diverse styles. The selected model essays follow the main thread of students’ one-term study and daily lives, closely aligning with the writing requirements of their grade level, weaving together a series of wonderful moments from daily life. Each model essay includes carefully designed questions to help clarify the direction and steps of your thinking, with most questions followed by several answers to broaden your perspective and open up writing ideas.
If you are a teacher, this will be a brand-new and effective training resource; if you are a parent, this will be a serious and responsible teaching assistant; and if you are a student eager to quickly improve your writing skills, this will be a shortcut to success. “It’s hard to start,” but with this series of “Starting from Here: Writing Diaries,” everything will become simple.
